I spent over an hour last night repeatedly killing the Huge Gator in Misty Mire (along with Fly Traps, Giant Crabs and various Undead). It only takes a minute to reach it -- no sailing or swimming required -- and you don't even need to go past the higher level Undead or the Giant Crab. Here's what you do:
Enter Misty Mire through the swamp by the Tortuga Docks.
At the bottom of the bridge when you enter is a small spit of land, usually inhabited by a Rock Crab and a lower level Undead. Kill them and move on towards the left. There may be a few low level critters (Swamp Gators) and Undead (Pirates) in this area, but they shouldn't be a problem to deal with.
Now, BEFORE you reach the little gathering of higher level Undead (Witchdoctors, Brigands and Grenadiers), you will see a torch-lit opening on your left. Pop into this passage. You should see a Fly Trap growing there.
You are now safely separated by a wall from the higher level Undead, as you proceed past (or kill) the Fly Trap. The passage will veer slightly to the right, then left again. You will find another Fly Trap there, but you will still be protected from the higher level Undead on the other side of that wall.
Just past this second Fly Trap is a shack on stilts rising above the swamp water. If there isn't a Huge Gator already in the water in front of the shack, it will spawn just past the wood ramp leading up to it. (Although I killed a few that were LVL 18, the majority of the spawns were in the 15-17 range.)
Happy hunting!
